Upgrading your IBM Case Manager system

To benefit from the enhanced Workflow Center, while preserving your existing case data and navigator configuration, you can augment your case installation with an IBM® Business Automation Workflow topology.

About this task

There are two approaches for upgrading your IBM Case Manager system to Business Automation Workflow.
  1. Recommended approach for all environments: Upgrade IBM Case Manager to Business Automation Workflow, but keep the IBM Case Manager environment as it is. This approach minimizes the impact on other IBM products that use the IBM Content Navigator. For production environments, because of performance requirements, you must use this approach.
    This approach reuses the following components:
    • Content Platform Engine
    • Content Platform Engine database
    • IBM Content Navigator
    • IBM Content Navigator database
  2. Optional approach for non-production environments: Upgrade IBM Case Manager to Business Automation Workflow and use the IBM Content Navigator embedded in Business Automation Workflow. With this approach, the changes to the IBM Case Manager environment are smaller, but you will need to reconfigure other systems that rely on IBM Content Navigator. You can use this approach only for non-production environments.
    This approach reuses the following components:
    • Content Platform Engine
    • Content Platform Engine database
    • IBM Content Navigator database
